Can I get Teleport magicka early by blowing myself up?

I've read that you can get the Teleport magicka on top of that bridge (see screenshot) early in chapter 1 by blowing yourself up with mines and thereby launching yourself into the air and onto the bridge.

I've tried it with different mines, but I only get damages, the mines don't throw me anywhere. Is this not possible anymore or am I doing something wrong?

According to this video

showing how to get it, it is only usable in multiplayer mode, as you can't launch yourself with mines but only other players (if you have a second controller it is doable on a single computer though)
